+Subject: Provide possibility for vendors to fix BIOS issues for SLE11 only
+References: none
+Patch-Mainline: never
+
+These BIOS issues generally should be solved in the mainine kernel.
+But such ACPI interpreter fixes often are very intrusive and impossible to
+add as a maintenance update.
+This interface should only be used by vendors in emergency case, e.g.
+for important pre-loads. Use cases could be:
+ - BIOS cannot generally be fixed because it's already validated against
+ Windows OSes, with this patch a SLE11 specific BIOS fix can be added
+ - Kernel cannot be fixed, because the fix would be too intrusive
+In most cases both above scenarios would be valid.
